The Verizon iPhone Is Really Not a Big Deal

Despite all the whooping and “fuck you, Luke Wilson” we’ve been seeing on Twitter, Boy Genius Report says Verizon iPhone sales are “a little under” what Apple and Verizon expected, based on in-store numbers. The Verizon bump also dwindled rapidly; iPhone sales by Verizon and AT&T were almost equal just five days after the announcement.

Possible explanations:

existing Verizon customers were allowed to buy the iPhone early online, dampening demand for in-store purchases
